More Troops May Be Sent To Palestine
Britain Trying To Speed Settlement
London, June 14.
Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, Scorelary of State for the Colonies, outlined in the House of Commons this ovening the mensures taken to facilitate the maintenance of order in Palestine.
Mr. MacDonald said he was hope- ful that the combination of recent efforts would very substantially reduce incidents. Nevertheless the Government was watching the situa tion with the great care and
had under consideration the question whether more forces would be re- quired for a final attainment of the objective of restoring law and order.
The Colonial Secretary said that the High Commissioner, Mr. Wood- head, had been Instructed to com- was plete the work as quickly as consistent with thoroughness and effeiency, and the Government would give his report its attention Im- mediately it was received.
Dealing with the position in the West Indies, Mr. MacDonald fore- shadowed the appointment of a Royal Commission to Inquire into social and economic conditions there. He added that the terms of reference and the constitution of the Commis- slon would require careful considera- tion.
Mr. MacDonald expressed the opinion that the disturbances and unrest in Jamaica were not the result of passing whims, bui cx- pressed the sens of unrest which was fairly widespread, and arose
Britain Irom feelings which
must respect.
Except for a small minority, the demonstrators were not moved by anti-British feeling. No people af the Empire were more loyal to it than those of the West Indies. That fact should make П strong appeal to Britain's sympathy when she was considering ways and means of im- proving the economic situation.
The local Government of Jomnien was not indifferent or idle when the recent outburst occurred, A Cum- mittee of Inquiry Into the wages question was proceeding when the workers tried to take the skuation into their own hands.--Rruter Special,
